Printing system, method of controlling printing system, and storage medium

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a printing system comprising accepting a request to print based on a capture image of an image projected by the projection unit; determining whether or not printing based on the capture image of the image projected by the projection unit is possible; in a case where it is determined that the printing of the image projected by the projection unit is possible, permitting the printer to print based on the capture image of the image projected by the projection unit on the basis of the request accepted; and in a case where it is determined that the printing of the image projected by the projection unit is not possible, restricting the printer from printing based on the capture image of the image projected by the projection unit on the basis of the print request accepted.

Description

BACKGROUNDField of the Disclosure[0001]The present disclosure relates to a printing system, a method of controlling a printing system, and a storage medium.Description of the Related Art[0002]Recent years have seen the spread of web conferencing systems for reducing wasted time and money spent on travel to attend conferences. There has been a particular shift from systems requiring dedicated lines to web conferencing systems that use PCs to conduct conferences in a networked environment, and such systems are now in wide use. In a conference using a web conferencing system, there are cases where participants wish to print out images displayed by a projector or display for the purpose of taking notes, as well as cases where participants wish to scan an image of their additions to a document on the spot and post that image to the web conferencing system to share the information. In such a case, it is possible, for example, to acquire a capture image of the screen to be printed out whil...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent allows for printing based on a captured image of a projected image while maintaining security.

Problems solved by technology

However, because it allows conference materials and the like to be printed freely, such a method may have issues from the perspective of security, in terms of preventing data from being leaked.

However, this conventional technique has the following issue.

However, there are cases where one wishes to print a moving image or the like over multiple pages, and in such cases, the usability is poor, as it is necessary to acquire the captured screen each time, and at the same time, there are the same security issues as mentioned above.
